Did that system come with a basic tune for that engine combo or does it have a " learn " function ?
Tell me more about it. I have a mega Squirt that I would love to use but it does not have a learn function and I dont have any good tables. I can get it close by test and tune but close is not good enough.

it doesnt have  a inuitive function, but I havent upgrade to the "tuner studio" software thats now available wich supposedly does....

 Ihave 3 really good tuner freinds, so starting with a base table and a wide band Im not to worried, Ill be doing some constant state dyno/tunning  first then we will go street tune...  and finish it off,  I preffer to leave a safety margain in my tunes so I will not push it to the limits ...... Im just gonan take it slow and learn as  I go... like everyhting on this car, big departure from my v8 days, but its good... I love technology and will be addinga nitrous system also somewhere down the road

Cool. Please keep us posted and to that end, if there is any way to post the tables you come up with it would be a big advantage here.

Looks very cool! I absolutly love the drawing! I have a "custom" drawing I did of my wagon with imaginative vette style front end and the rear slanted down and the wheel wells flared more. Looks great in a drawing! Probably crappy in real life though! LOL> Yours is good both ways!

It's definately a sweet ride Chris. I look forward to you getting it on the road. Scott (dieselgeek) on TF helped develope the Spectre system and should be able to help with anything you may want to know. Wes Kiser can also fill you in on it.
